The communication process. Verbal and not verbal expression: writing and orality. The communication is the main element in the development of the individual and social life: cells communicate, animals communicate and human people communicate. This so general starting point requires focusing on about certain aspects. First of all, language is a communication system with particular and general characteristics, but it´s not the only one used by humans. People use also expressions and they communicate by evidences. So are described expressions and corporal encoded behavior, conscious or unconscious attitudes in the face to face dialogues. According to the linguistic communication, nowadays we don´t have only a written communication, but also a verbal communication in the distance, that works almost like a verbal face to face communication. However, face to face communication by videoconference, mobile, computer or any other electronic device is not like the one that takes place face to face in a physical presence of the speakers. In this way, it will be necessary to analyze the communicative process not only like a codification / decoding diagram, but also, specially, like an ostensive and inferential process, as the Relevance Theory proposes. In the second place, in every communicative process takes place the intention of the emitting and the capacity of the addressee to understand properly the messages. The pragmatic perspective helps us to analyze different communicative situations related to the communicative objectives, with the situation, with the surroundings and with the social distance established between the interlocutors. Finally, we must refer the specificity of messages in the different situations and in every different actual media. The use of oral signs, at the same time than visual signs is something fundamental in the contemporary world. The study of electronic messages, twits or chats has a big interest like new communication ways.
